I own both in LEM now and I'm not sure but I think the 9mm has more recoil. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?

Not at all. Not that the 45c is unmanageable but the 9mm is distinctly softer for me.

Just taught a female to shoot my USP Compact 9mm. At 105 pounds and 4'11" she never complained ... just saying

You may be referring to the diference in muzzle flip and/or perceived recoil.

9mm is weaker but I find it "snappier", whereas 45 auto is a more powerful round but the perceived recoil is more like a push back/thump to the wrist rather than the snappy upwards energy of the 9mm.

It seems the flip that I am talking about is almost in slow motion compared to the 45.

Ammo type can change everything. Were you shooting nato or +p 9mm? Or maybe your 45 ammo was slower?

I was shooting the 124gr men ammo that I use in my sp5k. It's supposed to be NATO spec.

I think that you found a possible cause. Compare the 2 using a standard pressure with 124gr. in the 9mm and the same brand of 230gr.45 and then compare.
